Māori land loss, 1860-2000

 

These maps chart the loss of Māori land (shaded blue) in the North Island between 1860 and 2000. The Crown and the New Zealand Company had purchased nearly 99% of the South Island by 1865. For details, see the Ngāi Tahu land claim and Māori land loss: South Island (Te Ara).

Just for the record, the reason the record doesn't go back before 1860 is because land statistics were not available or because the infomation might not be accurate to be put in the article

Peggy - did you scroll through all the maps? The last one shows that not all land was lost. Note the blue shows land still in Māori ownership - the first one shows the situation in 1860.

This map shows that all of our Maori land in the East Cape area has been lost. Not true! The whole of that area is Maori land. Go have a look at Maori Land Online.

My great great great grandpa is George Grey. Thanks to his infidelities and lust for my Great Great Great Grandmother, we have land in Pūtaruru that doesn't belong to us was gifted to Her for His affections towards Her. It was won/stolen after the battle with King Tāwhiao.

I'd very much like to put things right.
It is within my power to do so, so here I am... Doing some research of my own to get a better understanding. My Grandmother is still alive, She is an absolute shareholder for the majority of the land in Pūtaruru.
